The Producers A ssociation and the

The Naval Stores Manufacturers Pro-
tectIve Association has just issued an
other circular to the producers, The cir
cular states that since the one OF Jan. 7
was issued two circumstances have oc-
Cured which require official notice from
the association. One circumstance is the
notice given by the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company that 1t
would in future enforce the al. G. l..
rate' on less than Car load lots of spirits
turpentine. The rate referred TO is
three or tour times as great
as on carload lots. 1t has been
charged, says the circular, that The
association was responsible for the order,
because the association obtained 90 per
cent. reduction on rosin ireights. All re-
sponsibnity for the order is denied, and
the statement Is made that the 81. G. l..
rate" was suspended before freight was
collected on single shipment.
The second matter which the associa-
ton deems requires notice from it is in
reference to the organizations cOnnec-
ton with the Standard OH Company.
The charges TO that effect made by two
prominent naval stores factors in inter-
views published by the MORNING NEWS
are pronounced untrue, unfounded aud
absurd. Producers are warned against
cutting too many boxes and thereby
causing an overproducLion of spirits and
rosin. An allusion is made to horning,
